The end of Balz's Career

Brag · 02-18-08, 05:00 PM

Balz's career keeps crashing to desktop on loading. BDU is thinking of giving him a desk job.

Torp III · 02-18-08, 05:07 PM

Did you try to put his teacozy on straight?:rotfl:

bookworm_020 · 02-18-08, 05:30 PM

Too much booze and singing????

NealT · 02-18-08, 05:49 PM

Hmmmm.....

We cannot have that!

What would be do without him?

Perhaps he should start a new career? Warp back in time and try again?

GoldenRivet · 02-18-08, 05:51 PM

i thought he had met his fate on the business end of a depth charge rack

Sigurd · 02-18-08, 06:37 PM

I've had this happen to me a few times. Try loading a previous patrol. You'll need to play it again, but it should work. If not, then Balz is borked

sunvalleyslim · 02-18-08, 10:57 PM

I believe that with a book coming out, it's possible Kapt. Balz could get a new (torpedoe data) computer....wink, wink......

Did Balz leave port without his Bernard ? You know how that can screw thigns up.

msalama · 02-19-08, 12:21 AM

Yah, just ground the guy. He's gotta be happy with that getting more time for his choir and imbibing practices

Graf Paper · 02-19-08, 12:43 AM

Surely someone knows enough about .sav and crew .cfg files to render some emergency first aid for Balz?

We can't let the most colorful character to ever sail with a tea cozy simply fade away! I have just too much fun reading of his exploits.

I have a suggestion.

Everyone who wishes to take a crack at fixing Balz's career should step forward and then you, Brag, could zip the career and post it for download, along with a brief description of any mods and utilities you use with SH3, for those brave souls who offer to help.

Long live the great hero of the U-bootwaffe!

Yeah & the idea seconded too!

I'd for one like to try my hand in that in order to familiarize myself with the savegame / career configuration. Won't in all likelihood get anything DONE though, being the sad n00b that I am, but would still like to try just out of curiosity... will probably kill the cat, I know, but still

EXTRA' EXTRA' READ ALL ABOUT IT:

GWX 2.0 to tough for Balz and he bails for a desk job

Yep you heard it right ,the mighty J.S. Balz's mother sent a note to BDH and demanded he be excused from the war since it was too tough on her baby

Interesting idea. Being a total computer twit, I would need step by tiny step instructions.

So far, I have tried loading another career and it has worked a couple of times. I have GWX2.0 and no other mods.

finally !!
balz is gone!!!
woooo

Brag · 02-19-08, 09:03 AM

Balz: If I can't have a U-boat command give me a job as a secret agent.
Brag: You're a Kaleun living during WWII and your position there is fixed.
Balz: I can wear a tea cozy in Africa, lots of people do that there.
Brag: No!
Balz: I can be a bad guy, I can doctor intelligence reports, I can commit treason, I can manipulate the press.
Brag: No!
Balz: I can create catastrophies.
Brag. We have created all that already in Kingmaker.
Balz: I can be a prtotagonist. I can fight evil, I can outsmart all my enemies. I hear you have one hell of a babe in Kingmaker. I could seduce her and find out her secrets.
Brag: No way!
Balz: I could say hoochie woochie in every page.
Brag: Aaaarrrgghh.
Balz: My choir would overwhelm the Evil One.
Brag: Maybe you could go out and sell Kignmaker.
Balz: Oh yeah?
Brag: Yup.
Balz: How should I pitch it?
Brag: Buy the book now. It doesn't have Balz, it doesn't have hoochie woochie nor tea cozies. It is a thriller of great suspense meant to nudge LeCaree into number two spot.
Balz: Phooey, go and sell that book yourself. Hoochie-woochie, boo-boom.
